We are delighted to have taken responsibility for delivering GovCamp Scotland and for supporting GovCamp Singapore.

Debate around GovCamp Scotland filled the airwaves of social media for several days leading up to a "standing room only" event in Edinburgh on November 7th 2011. However it is in fact a commitment from the many partners involved to a shared responsibility for delivering a number of key outcomes focused on improved Digital Participation over the lifetime of the Scottish Parliament. It is a privilege to work with Scottish Cabinet Ministers, their civil servants, and leading organisations such as Microsoft, Sopra Group, J.P. Morgan, HP, Liberata, Storm ID, Scotland IS, Cisco and Lenovo to develop such an exciting long term programme. We are joined daily now by other corporates, and a range of SMEs such as Swirll , community interest companies such as Mydex, and third sector organisations such as Carnegie Trust UK.

Do join the debate and do join the GovCamp Scotland movement, help us to make Scotland stand tall in the world.

Another initiative in which MJI has been instrumental is the delivery of a national software development competition, SME EnviroApp.

Launched by the Scottish Government, SSE, SEPA, and Microsoft, the competition challenges participants to develop innovative software applications to raise business awareness amongst SMEs of climate change requirements, measure progress towards carbon reduction, or assist SMEs in either carbon management or enhanced energy efficiency.

This app will contribute to achieving Scotland’s ambitious 2020 climate change goals, lowering the energy costs for the dynamic SME sector which will help to fuel sustainable growth and job creation as well as addressing a global business opportunity for development of an app which will encouraging carbon emissions reduction by individual businesses.
